Utah Fire Suppression Systems Contractor License (S370)
Contractors who install, design, or maintain fire suppression systems in Utah must hold an S370 license from DOPL. Installing these systems without a valid license is a Class A misdemeanor under Utah Code 58-55-503.
S370 Covers Sprinkler and Standpipe Systems — with Two Scope Exclusions
The S370 classification authorizes layout, fabrication, and installation of water, steam, gas, and chemical-based fire suppression systems. Two scopes are excluded: connecting to a potable sanitary water supply requires a licensed plumbing contractor (P200 or P201), and installation of suppression systems in hoods above cooking appliances falls outside S370.
Bond, Insurance, and Application Fees
- Application fee: $175
- Surety bond: $15,000 filed with DOPL
- General liability insurance: minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence / $3,000,000 aggregate with DOPL as certificate holder
- Workers' compensation: required if you have employees
Biennial Renewal — All Utah Contractor Licenses Expire November 30 of Odd Years
The renewal fee is $128. DOPL sends renewal notices at least 60 days before expiration. Renewing after the deadline but within 30 days incurs a $20 late penalty. Each renewal cycle requires 6 hours of continuing education, with at least 3 hours in live in-class attendance.
Unlicensed Installation Carries Criminal and Civil Penalties
Installing fire suppression systems without a valid S370 is a Class A misdemeanor. Civil penalties under Utah Code 58-55-503 run up to $1,000 for a first offense, $2,000 for a second, and $2,000 per day for each subsequent day of continued violation.
